2/06/25 | First-Round Receiver? Yes, First-Round Receiver for Packers in New Mock Draft. GREEN BAY, Wis. – In case you've forgotten, here's the history lesson: The Green Bay Packers haven't used their first-round draft pick on a receiver since 2002. Before that, it was 1988. However, none of the Packers' young receivers took a step forward in 2024, Christian Watson (ACL) and Romeo Doubs (concussions) have injury questions, and the free-agent market is weak. So, perhaps Cam Mellor's new NFL mock draft for College Football Network , in which he sent Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka to the Packers with the 23rd overall selection, isn't totally preposterous. “With WR1 skills and the versatility to excel from any alignment, his elite ball skills and unmatched body control make him a game-changer Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/first-round-receive... |
1/25/25 | Why Packers trade could entice Seahawks WR DK Metcalf. The Green Bay Packers need a deep threat wide receiver in the worst way in 2025 and beyond. Christian Watson was supposed to be that guy for the Packers, but let's be honest. Sure, he gave the Packers the threat of a deep threat —and that can be a big help in opening up an offense — but the times in which he delivered were few and far in between. The point is, the Packers can't rely on Watson to be that guy anymore, and he likely never will be in the NFL again. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/why-packers-trade-could-e... |
1/24/25 | Packers floated as blockbuster trade fit for $72 million two-time Pro Bowler. Following their disappointing first-round playoff exit, the Packers learned that they will be without athletic wideout Christian Watson until at least November of 2025. Without Watson's vertical threat, the Packers' offense as currently constructed would be limited in its versatility. If the Packers want to shake things up, however, there are blockbuster trades to be had this offseason that could rejuvenate their passing game.

1/23/25 | Packers 'expected' to be in trade sweepstakes for $72 million two-time Pro Bowler. The Green Bay Packers didn't just lose in the first round of the NFC playoffs this season. Christian Watson, who has shown flashes of brilliance but been heavily inconsistent during his three-year Packers tenure, is expected to be out until Thanksgiving next season with a torn ACL. Without Watson, the Packers' offense severely lacks a vertical threat. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/green-bay-pack... |
1/20/25 | Packers predicted to replace Christian Watson with Texas star in mock draft. The Green Bay Packers opted not to add any receivers last offseason. With the group failing to take the next step and Christian Watson expected to miss a chunk of time, the Packers could target the position early in the NFL Draft. During a three-round mock draft, FanSided's Freddie Boston predicted that the Packers would replace Christian Watson with University of Texas wide receiver Marcus Golden in the second round of the draft.
